Erbium is a soft, silvery-white rare earth metal with a high stability in air and is characterised by pink-colored ions. The element is prized for its optical properties, with its erbium ions having sharp absorption bands in the visible, ultraviolent and infrared spectra. Key industry areas include photonics and medicine, with erbium critical for manufacture of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers for long distance telecommunications, surgical lasers for tissue ablation, neutron absorbers in nuclear reactors, as well as many more specialised use cases.
